I'm going to plug a personal finance application; I have no connection to it other than using it and wanting it to survive. I hope that's not inappropriately hijacking this thread, but downvote me if so. MoneyDance http://moneydance.com/ http://moneydance.com/ It's a mature application with a good GUI, with double-entry and sophisticated functionality, cross-platform (Linux too), has an open API and is scriptable in Python, [1] and IIRC data is in XML. Last I needed them (years ago), support was responsive and forums were technical and helpful. [1] http://infinitekind.com/developer http://infinitekind.com/developer

Does the sync between mobile and desktop take place over wifi or cloud?

  From one of the reviews of the mobile app: "now, wifi sync is no longer available. The developer has seen fit to force you to sync your personal, financial information over the Internet via Dropbox."

    FWIW, the information is encrypted in dropbox -- you need to profile an "Encryption key". http://help.infinitekind.com/discussions/iphone-ipod-touch-ipad-android-app-questions/525-encryption-key http://help.infinitekind.com/discussions/iphone-ipod-touch-i...

      There's a problem with having to use and trust Dropbox, however. It's a company that's consistently proven that they can't be trusted, both in terms of truth and competence.

        Thankfully, with sane encryption you don't need to trust them. (Or any other cloud outfit). They're more than welcome to distribute and analyze as widely as they see fit, the few hundred megabytes of random-looking data sitting in my account :)

        Some people don't trust closed-source encryption.

        Sane people don't trust closed-source encryption. FTFY
